Should I try OS/2 SM again?

Several years ago, under eCS 2.1 I tried to get to a website with SM, and all I got was a black page with a pinwheel in the middle. At that point I decided life was too short for such "challenges", and stopped trying to shop under eCS. I have since used WXP and W7. I use FF to get to Chase, and for everything else I use SM. It is now somewhere around 2.5 depending on which distro I am using. I always run "seamonkey.exe -Profilemanager" - This was pasted from an actual run object. I have a bunch of profiles, name them anything I want and put them anywhere I want. My email files began life in Netscape and I have always put them anywhere I want. I currently have over a hundred filters - I filter the good stuff and what is left in the inbox is almost all junk and so easy to review and "process". I have done this since Netscape. And both profiles and mail files I have shared between OS/2 and Win on Fat 32. I do not allow apps or data to be on boot partitions, and that goes for any Mozilla stuff - maybe DLLs. I can restore an OS partition and the data does not know the difference, and I can restore a data partition and the OS does not know the difference. Why screw with data if an OS breaks and visa versa. And all machines have at least two partitions of any OS I am making serious use of. That is for backup and maintenance. OK, enough background, yes I have a question. The last time I tried to run SM under OS/2 I apparently either did not have all the pieces, and/or did not have them all in the correct places. My question is; should I again try to go shopping with OS/2? I have eCS 2.1. Should I be able to get SM to do mail and get to almost all sites, except maybe need FF to get to Chase? TY Ray
